Not for the buses, but the things lined up in lower right edge with sweeper brushes or drainage gizmos. |

They are probably for “Work Dockets”, and to prevent the bus being taken away until the required work is completed. -- Last edit: 2022-10-16 20:50:30 |

It looks Commer-ish to me rather than the Leyland Cub. Also at the rear of the garage is probably a 1946 Commer Commando 1½ Deck Airport Bus - Park Royal. I'm not certain but I guess there are at least four of the airport 1½ Deck buses? /vehicle_939127-Commer-Commando-Q4-1946.html /vehicle_1457126-Commer-Commando-Q4-1946.html /vehicle_592901-Commer-Commando-Q4-1946.html -- Last edit: 2022-10-19 22:11:21 |

Good spot - I noticed the one at the back, but didn't pay it any attention. So LT looked after these for BOAC?? Wondering if the other smaller thing at the back with the triple windows is another lesser BOAC??![[Image: 04-34rightb.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/04-34rightb.jpg) ![[Image: 04-34rightc.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/04-34rightc.jpg) |

If the smaller bus is without a rear route-destination board then an airline bus is probable, but what it was I cannot start to even guess from a rear view. If it was a London Transport single decker, the only potential match I can find is a private hire LTC which had the same rear windows but no destination board. The LTC appears to have a full length opening roof which just possibly is also seen in the documentary? However nothing to confirm it and it could easily be some other bus altogether. https://www.londonreconnections.com/wp-content/uploads/bus1.jpg |

My reason for not going with the Commer was that I thought the tops of the grilles and the bonnets were perhaps too low, but no argument. In terms of the little bus facing away, remember this image was from 1947, and the LT at that time kept a “special events” fleet of decrepit buses that were run for events like the Derby. These buses were then scrapped off or sold, and this might be one of those, awaiting its fate. -- Last edit: 2022-10-20 13:56:00 |

Although the image is small I have been able to compare it with a white metal model..![[Image: s-l1600.3.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/s-l1600.3.jpg) edit: A better rear view found here. The rear and with some interpretation of the possible roof form its a potential match with a private hire LTC. Yes, the LTC (if that's what it was) were used for events like the Olympic games later in 1948 and sold in 1953. It appears to be a visitor to Victoria (garage code GM from other buses seen). -- Last edit: 2022-10-20 17:22:12 |
